In Simferopol, Crimea, three children were riding scooters near a playground. At one point, one of the riders started to turn right, lost control of the scooter, and hit one of the girls on a scooter.
This girl then fell onto a baby stroller, where a three-year-old girl sat. After the incident, the 13-year-old returned to her scooter and rode away.
As a result of the collision, the three-year-old girl was injured. An hour and a half later, the person responsible for the accident was found in the same park, again on a scooter. The police also arrived at the scene.
When the girl's mother arrived, the girl apologized. The parents announced that the teenager would receive a reprimand, and the mother would ensure that the girl regretted her actions and no longer rode an electric scooter.
Dramatic accident in Crimea. Oligarch's relative fled
However, the 13-year-old was not the main culprit of the accident. The true perpetrator who first hit the 13-year-old is a relative of a very influential person in Crimea. Joseph Faingold is a former deputy of the Simferopol City Council and a businessman with millions of dollars in his account.
Interestingly, after the accident, other parents began blaming not the oligarch's relative but the 13-year-old girl, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Parents want to create a petition to request a ban on scooters in Gagarin Park. In their opinion, there is a constant risk of accidents in the park due to the large number of children and electric scooters.
